► 2016 Mercedes-AMG SL 63 - Driving

Mercedes-AMG is further enhancing its MY16 SL 63 high-performance roadster with updated technology. The front section features a completely new design, with a radiator grille which broadens out towards the bottom and the A-wing front spoiler. The stylish light signature and the highly comprehensive scope of standard equipment and appointments underscore the high-quality impression. The engine set the benchmark in the high-performance roadster segment: the 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine generates an output of 585 horsepower (430 kW) and peak torque of 900 Newton metres.
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.1 seconds
The AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission on the SL 63 boasts tailor-made dynamics and high variability. Whether automatic or initiated by the driver using the steering wheel shift paddles, upshifts and downshifts are executed noticeably faster than on the previous model. Especially in "Sport Plus" and in manual mode, the transmission response is now even more prompt. This enhanced spontaneity was made possible by optimising the engine and transmission software.
The SL63 leaves the factory with 10-spoke light-alloy wheels, painted in titanium grey and with a high-sheen finish, in size 9 J x 19 with 255/35 R 19 tyres at the front and in size 10 J x 19 with 285/30 R 19 tyres at the rear.
